Jquery: Checking to see if div contains text, then action

Question

I\'m trying to check in jQuery if a div contains some text, and then add a class if it does.

So I wrote something like this:

    if( $(\"#field >

You might want to try the contains selector:

if ($("#field > div.field-item:contains('someText')").length) {
    $("#somediv").addClass("thisClass");
}

Also, as other mentioned, you must use == or === rather than =.
